Waterproof mattress covers

In everyday life, there is no clarity about what a waterproof mattress cover is exactly. So, let's first define it:

A waterproof mattress cover is a protective layer placed over the mattress to guard against spills, stains, dirt, and wear. It is designed to repel liquids, keeping the mattress clean and extending its lifespan.

Mattress pads must be breathable so that the mattress does not hamper ventilation. A topper is also placed on the mattress. However, its primary purpose is not to protect the mattress, but to change or adapt the feel of the mattress.

Waterproof Mattress Covers Price in Pakistan

The price of waterproof mattress covers in Pakistan varies depending on the quality, size, design, and brand of the product. According to Pakistani Stores, the max price of mattress covers in Pakistan is Rs. 3,500, and the lowest price is Rs. 1350. However, these prices may change over time and may not reflect the latest offers and discounts.

Mattress topper

A mattress topper offers the mattress protection from above. A big advantage of toppers is that they can be completely washed in the washing machine, depending on the material at up to 95° Celsius. The textile surfaces of mattresses are often sensitive and prone to stains that are difficult to remove. Mattress protectors are also available in waterproof versions. This means that no liquid (neither urine or blood nor water or sweat) can get into the mattress interior and your mattress is protected.

Mattress pads

Mattress pads are used to protect the mattress from influences from below. Rough spots on the slatted frame can lead to tears and holes in the upper material of the mattress base due to small movements while sleeping. To protect the mattress from abrasion and wear, a pad can be placed between the slatted frame and the mattress. A mattress pad is particularly recommended to protect your mattress if you have built your own slatted frame. Make sure you use the right slatted frame for your mattress. You must not use electronic or adjustable slatted frames for spring mattresses. For foam mattresses, adjustable slatted frames with at least 28 slats that must be no more than 4 cm apart are recommended. An unsuitable slatted frame can impair the comfort of your mattress or, in the worst case, destroy the shape stability of the mattress.

Why and for whom is a waterproof mattress cover useful?

A quality mattress is a long-term investment. A waterproof mattress cover can be very useful to protect the lifespan of this investment. It is also very time-consuming to clean stubborn stains (blood, urine, coffee, etc.) from a mattress. You can save yourself this work with a machine-washable mattress protector. Regularly washing the waterproof mattress cover reduces the spread of bacteria, mold and dust mites and your bed stays hygienically clean. Mattress protectors are also useful for people who sweat a lot at night. The protector can absorb liquid well and protects the mattress from sweat stains.

What are the advantages of a waterproof mattress cover?

• Protecting the mattress from dirt
• easy cleaning of the bed surface
• increased comfort
• longer lifespan of the mattress
• improving bed hygiene

Attaching the mattress protector

In order for the mattress protector to reliably protect your mattress, it must be attached as firmly as possible and must not slip. There are several types of attachment:

• four corner elastics: A very simple and frequently used type of fastening is corner elastics that are stretched over the four corners of the mattress. This offers reliable support and the mattress topper can be removed quickly and easily if necessary.
• Fitted border: We know the continuous fitted border from the classic fitted sheet. The edges of the mattress topper are simply stretched over the sides of the mattress and then pulled off again like a bed sheet.
• Non-slip material: Materials that prevent the mattress pad from slipping are useful for mattress pads. Non-slip materials are sometimes used for mattress pads, but this type of attachment is not so suitable for the thinner and lighter pads.

Mattress protector size

A mattress protector should fit the mattress as precisely as possible. Mattress pads are made in all possible sizes. It doesn't matter whether you want to protect a single mattress a partner mattress or a family mattress. It is important that the size of the protector matches the size of the mattress! If it is too small, it cannot protect the entire surface of the mattress and it will still get dirty or wear unevenly. If your mattress protector is too big, however, it cannot be attached tightly and non-slip to the mattress. This also affects both the sleeping comfort and the protection of your mattress.
Mattress protectors are also made to fit children's beds and should also be bought to fit them perfectly.

Protective function of the mattress protector

Mattress protectors offer very different levels of protection. Depending on your needs, you can choose exactly the protection you need for your mattress. You have the following options:

• Protection: A normal mattress protector protects the mattress from wear and tear and coarse dirt. These protectors are usually sufficient for normal use by adults. They are easy to care for, do not affect the lying comfort or the bed climate, but extend the life of the mattress and offer superficial protection if an accident does occur.
• Waterproof: Waterproof mattress protectors offer a particularly high level of protection for the mattress. Waterproof or water-resistant mattress protectors protect against all imaginable liquid contamination. These protectors usually have a polyurethane coating. 
• Absorbent: Should your mattress protector be water-repellent and washable or should it be absorbent? This question arises particularly when caring for the elderly or sick (e.g. incontinent). Most protectors are washable and can be easily cleaned.
• Allergy sufferers: Around 7% of people suffer from a dust mite allergy. When they come into contact with the arachnids' droppings, they experience allergy attacks that can resemble cold symptoms. Normal mattress protectors do not protect against mites. However, they can be washed regularly to slow the spread and proliferation of mites on the mattress surface. Special products for allergy sufferers prevent mite droppings from getting out. Find out more about the right protection for you here.
